Last day

Today - the last day of the term. The next time i see my friends...oh gosh! Its gonna be Prelims, which is like 2 weeks away. Seriously and strictly speaking, I haven't started studying at all, and here i am, still blogging away. Fine.


We didn't celebrate much actually. just some well-wishes and a mug for each teacher. And a cake for Ah Chong. Really reminds me of how 4e1 didn't show our appreciation during 2004 Teachers' Day cos we were busy with our prelim preparation. I didn't know the teachers actually expected students to give them something. As in, of course they know that students would give them something, but i didn't know they would actually say it out so openly. Yah.


'Bought 2 6R class photos. Really regretted not buying last year, so i don't have a complete set now. But anyway, its ok since i don't like CG last year anyway. But I don't really approve of the way the photog society handle our photos. First there was a minimum orde of $120, then there's the 150% 6R and 8R order. Now, they say they can't develop 4R photos, cos there's someting wrong with the machine. Yah, how convenient.


Back to the last day talk, yah, today the last day, quite slack too. There were only 4 guys who turned up officially. I guess the rest of the people pre-empted that nothing much would be done today. Seems like they are right. Great foresight huh! Anyway, I don't intend to return within the next 2 weeks, so yah. So long!

Things to say...

It really makes me feel rather weird and uneasy seeing the things that people write and their phrasing of words. I mean, is it realy true that everyone becomes a different person once he/she gets hooked on to the PC? Apparently it is, cos there seems like a few cases already. But I don't think I'm like them, cos at this very moment, I'm still thinking like the way I always think. Or has my personality already splitted without my knowledge?


This is my last official week for this school term. Fortunately, cos its only Mon, and I'm already feeling the kind of Fri's tiredness. Really, its a kinda mixed emotions. On one hand, I'm so glad not having to wake up early, to do all those dumb bio rev tests, don't need to attend GP lessons, no more S Papers, no more yucky canteen food...etc...and the list goes on...at least for the next 2 weeks. (Wow, I didn't know that there're actually so many things i dreaded about school). But on the other hand, I feel a little sad. Maybe cos it means I would be seeing less of my friends, CG people, ZJ & company...


Its approx 2-3 weeks before Prelims, and i can feel some of the people around me are going haywire soon. Me too. I really really have NO confidence for Bio. At all. I can really imagine myself staring blankly at the essay qns, like what i did during JCT, not knowing what to write at all. At this moment, I really wish to drop the subject, chuck it aside and never look at it anymore. I've never loathed Bio so much...its...I really don't know how to say.

Lets put it this way. There are so many things that i don't understand...and these are the things that many of us not understand too, or so they claimed. But I don't take things lying down...but i have nobody to turn to...ZJ had a shock out of her life when she saw how HE reacted when I asked HIM an MCQ. Hello!...its only MCQ...what reaction am I supposed to get if its an essay qns? I think HE would freak out. I think I would too. But no matter what, I'm still going to try my best. Yah, it sounds cliche, but tell me, what can i do? I have no choice right?


Right.


And for once, I really think that the songs sung by 5566 are actually so nice...

Tests and Results...

This week is really a terribly a busy week. Mon-Bio Rev Test Tues-Biochem Test, Wed-Ionic/Chem Equilibrium Self Test, Thurs-Electrochem Self Test, Fri-Physics Lecture Test, Bio Rev Test. I'm going crazy soon. Thank goodness, tmr is Friday and the week is finally ending. But so what? There's tonnes of work waiting for me to complete over the wkn.

Nanyang Concept Test results are out. I failed, of course, i didn't study or prepare for it anyway. 25/60. u think i can be in the 50th percentile, so that i can get at least a merit? I doubt so. Anyway, whats done cannot be undone, so too bad lah.

Mystery Unraveled!

It was that dumb ear stud or whatever you call it. My ear has been blocked for 2 whole days. At first, though impossible, we thought it was water. The when that dumb green thing went missing, I suspected it went in. Nobody believed me. Or rather, nobody believed that something would actually drop into my ear.


Finally went to Ployclinic to check today. They referred me to A&E of Changi General Hospital. It was scary. I was brought to that room, with all the metal forceps and scapels and equipment. The Dr first placed that long metal vacuum thing into my ear. I could feel the wind gushing into my ear. But nothing came out. He said that the ear stud had pierced through the flesh, and its stuck there. My goodness, I could've fainted on the spot. I was so scared I would become deaf or what after everything. And I was also scared that the Dr would have to perform surgery to get that thing out. I was just so worried. I was trembling, of course, from my teeth to my toes.


Then he used another sharper metal instrument, together with some liquid in my ear. U could've imagined the pain when that metal thing went poking and scraping along my ear canal. I was told not to shout, or to move. Fine. I pinched myself. At the end of the whole 'torture', well that ear stud finally came out. Both my ear and leg was painful. I was prescribed eardrops, in case of infection. But well, finally my hearing's back to normal. And I know there's nothing stuck in my ear canal.


It was really scary and painful. But I'm glad I didn't wait till a few days later before I see the Dr. It could've been worse. I've learnt a lesson- always to take off my ear rings before I sleep.

The last of NAPFA

I just ran the last official 2.4km of my life. Hooray! No more inclined pull-ups, no more standing broad jump, no more sit n reach...My nightmares, whether you believe it or not. Though its already like 2 days since I did my 5 items test, my body is still aching like crazy. You know I had such a hard time getting up from bed!! I can't laugh hard, or else...Haha.


I don't know, but i think some of my class guys are downright selfish. Why can't they help us gals take our timings? It doesn't happen in other classes leh...What's the big deal about playing soccer? We are all classmates! But I'm grateful that someone took my timing for me.


Today's run was terrible. I didn't feel well even before I started running, but its the last time already. By the 3rd round, I can feel myself almost fainting. I see pple all around me, then my sides were so so so pain. Then i heard someone calling my name, I'm not sure lah, as I was in a half-conscious state. But I just continued running. From my timings, I could see myself decelerating. Haha. So physics. But its true. I'm quite comforted at least he asked whether I was ok, cos I was feeling so unwell. I felt like going home. Thanks gals, who helped me.


Then today for chem, Miss Wong said sth that shocked me, which I didn't expect her to know.
I think the maths test was ok, so long as there weren't any deadly careless mistakes, which I'm so proned to make. Haha. So much so. And speaking of that, all our guys went round the school this morning, under the command of the PE teacher, in search of the luncher. It was so funny, its like some massive search or treasure hunt or sth, so interesting. Physics lesson was fun, with the exercises that were encouraged by Hello Kitty, and the bet that she made with us.


Yesterday's photo shoot was fun. Yah, making fun of pple. we insisted on going to some funny funny places to take our informal shots, when the photog pple keep insisting that they have a tight schedule. In the end, they still gave in, after much pestering from us and Ah Chong. But the formal shoot is no good, I think. I don't like "bird's eye view" kind of photo. But no choice, shall see how it turns out.


And yesterday, I also saw my level ranking. I thought I would have dropped a lot, surprisingly, I didn't. Instead I crept to 64. Luckily still in top 10%. But anyway, A-levels is the only exam that really matters.
